Towable autogyro system having repositionable mast responsive to center of gratvity calculations

An aerovehicle towed in flight by a towing aircraft, the towed aerovehicle comprising:

• a flight body;
• an undercarriage that includes a plurality of legs for supporting the towed aerovehicle when on the ground;
• a container supported by the undercarriage for receiving and securing cargo;
• a plurality of weight sensors attached to the plurality of legs, respectively, to sense weight distribution of the towed aerovehicle;
• an autogyro assembly connected to the flight body that includes a mast, a rotatable hub on an end of the mast, and a plurality of blades connected to the hub;
• an actuator connected to the mast that is actuated to move the location of the mast relative to the flight body;
• and
• a controller programmed to control operation of the autogyro assembly for unmanned flight, wherein the controller receives weight data sensed by the plurality of weight sensors, and actuates the actuator to change the location of the mast in response to the received weight data.
